I read Saka is about to be offered an improved contract in the region of 200k per week; making him one of the highest paid players in the league.

Omo, na so person life dey better through hardwork and taking opportunity when u see it.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]That is the place BlueRayDick said touts used to sit and drink .

Does that look like a place where people can attack someone and even pour fuel to burn?

I Don let the matter rest sha. Maybe na true[/color]

When I'm chanced, I will take pictures of the exact place I'm referring to and post it here.

ahnie:
Hello Bluey,what's wanke?

Beans right in Hausa linqua abii?

Rice and beans cooked together along with the stem of red millet stem ( this is usually sold by people selling herbs in any Market). It is served with a normal stew and sweet shito sauce.

EmmanuelScott1:
Aqua rapha industry dey run pure water, can water and yoghurt drinks.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]He established some businesses where people work, and the proceeds go to the ministry

A popular one is Aqua Rapha Water. That's the most common pure water you'll find in Enugu.

He releases songs, and writes books too

[/color]

Oh! This explains why the people were protesting his removal.

People like that will surely have loyalists who would defend them even at the expense of their faith. People go always defend their pot of soup, especially when u don't know what the newly employed cook will be cooking.....

izzou:
[color=royalblue]The ministry is large.

And him lifestyle dey simple.

Right from Chimaroke days, Mbaka don dey do him Adoration ministry.

Dem get many followers and e dey non-denominational sef[/color]

I mean does he make money solely from donations? ( which could be from missionaries outside the country, politicians within the country and so on)

EmmanuelScott1:
Omo bro, he dey run Aqua rapha industry plus government projects , but normally eee catholic priest dey get money, during bazzar donations is about the highest bidder. If you see Ebube munso projects Omo e go shock you

This aqua rapha industry, what do they do? Is it a block making industry? Pure water making industry? Or consultancy services?

I.want to actually have a full grasp about his finances. I don't know much about the mabaka man I'm interesting in learning how runs the ministry

Jodera:
Lol, Omo, there's no greater story than Xhaka I'm telling you.
From most hated, most booed(I don't remember Arsenal fans booing a particular player) to one of the most loved players.



Mehn, him suppose write another book on his time at Arsenal after him retire

Only God knows what Arteta said to him that convinced him not to leave....whatever those words were, they actually did the magic over time.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Mbaka transfer pain me oh

I may not be a fan of his political opinions and prophecies, but that guy helps a lot of people. From widows to orphans to offering scholarships....Mbaka wins my heart

Because of his Ministry at Emene, that place started experiencing economic growth.

No wahala sha.[/color]

Where Mbaka dey see all these money he's sharing?

Jodera:
Gunners September player of the month!!

Richly deserved!!

How do u go from the most despised arsenal player to a player that turns in one good performance after another every match? Xhaka needs to introduce us to his juju man

We Don watch match finish since 2.30pm on Saturday, but see us still arguing amongst ourselves who caused the only goal we conceded when we scored 3 good ones.....

It feels so good that we are arguing over a game that was won sha and not us fighting each other with bitterness over another loss.

Wanke + fish + egg

Anybody taking this my guy serious is on a long thing....After whodeyhouse, na him be my second favorite moniker in this section.

GloriousGbola:
we are really really fked in this country

there is way too much organized crime, supported by security agencies

the only reason all these guys are getting busted is because of Marwa

Sad really. EFCC would have been doing the same to the real yahoo boys if it had not been set on a path to destruction by yardua

Baba, the way young boys and girls have access to crack nowadays is alarming. I don't even plan to be in this country in the next 4-5 years when the chicken will come home to roost as far as this drug addiction is concerned. Someone gisted me of how boys steal energy saving bulbs that have spiral shapes just to use their Crystal meth they call "ice". Imagine those boys being broke and doing anything be it illegal just to have access to the drug.

As regards EFCC putting a leash on yahoo activities, that ship sailed a long time ago. The pandemic when even SS2 boys cashed out millions was the defining moment. It takes personal conviction for a young boy from a poor background who just graduated from high school not to engage in Internet scam nowadays o

[color=royalblue]So, this Autonation guy is the baron of Tramadol?

Many businesses these days na just posterboys for illicit transactions[/color]

https://www.nairaland.com/7364187/ndlea-releases-name-picture-tramadol

Sometimes last year my neighbour told me there are meth labs scattered around lekki axis and also some big houses in those areas where some of the so-called big boys engage in organ harvesting.

I thought he was exaggerating as usual and just bringing the so-called facts out of his annnus. Now I know he wasn't joking when he said that. He said some of the houses even have policemen assigned to the owners upon request from the police authorities and that if u enter u won't have cause for alarm( since u can see police presence) not knowing na wàhálà u just enter

Theflint1:
My saying it's a No-Man's-Land isn't me saying it isn't indigenous to ethnic Lagosians, it's me saying that it's fast heading towards the point where any and everyone can lay claim to being a Lagosian because they're invested in its welfare and can aspire to elected positions in Lagos because they have the interest of the state at heart. Lagosians from other South West states have realized this and no one bats an eyelid when they get elected positions, it's only a matter of time for other Non-Yoruba's and who knows, non-Nigerians to aspire for the highest seat of Lagos state.

There are Igbo's, Hausa's, Ghanaians, Benenoise and Edo's who all they know is Lagos and this will be even more obvious one or two generations from now. It doesn't mean I'm all for integration and whatnot, but I'm calling it for what it is...Lagos isn't a city that was built solely on the sweat of ethnic Lagosians, and as long as it continues in this trajectory, it's only a matter of time before it becomes as cosmopolitan as other major cities of the world that developed in this fashion.

If this is what mean then u don't really have much worries. Non Yorubas are already being elected as representatives in different levels of Government. As we speak there's a certain Jude Idimogwu who represents Oshodi Isolo constituency II at Lagos state house of assembly. I believe he campaigned and won an election in his constituency where he must have had even indigenes who contested against him.

Politics is a game of numbers and interests and most times its the diverse interests that affects the numbers.

That being said, I hope u agree Lagos is indigenous to Yorubas and not a no man's land like u posited earlier.

Theflint1:
That's because Kaduna is not as cosmopolitan as Lagos. As Lagos becomes a more cosmopolitan state, things like the ethnicity of elected officials will take the back burner.

Fair point. What I don't understand is u trying to rewrite history ; even before the British came Lagos has always been known to be indigenous to the Yoruba people of southwest. It's not like Lagos just became Yoruba land out of nowhere, even the history books recorded it that it was Yoruba warriors that fought and defended their land before the British invaders took it with superior firepower.

So why saying it's a No-man's-land when facts suggest otherwise?

larride:
I no even know what hes trying to prove.

Nairaland na cruise, I beleive he's catching cruise

Southerners have been living in Kaduna for years and dem no dey ever talk say Kaduna no be Hausa/Fulani land.

Theflint1:
Time will tell.

What exactly will time tell?

Lagos is indigenous to Yoruba speaking people of Nigeria.....Why is that even an argument?

nihilistjnr:
As a retired rigging engineer, there's a couple of statements I really dont expect from you.

You of all people should know the inherent danger associated with such actions. Even if nothing happened to the girl, I'm sure that you are intimately familiar with what could easily happen in that scenario...

What Tha 4ck!

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I understood you

I am just saying, for you to drag someone from the pedestrian bridge on that side, to the terminal you're talking off, you have to use JUJU for no one to notice.

[/color]

I didn't read where he said "no one noticed", I guess people just minded their business except for the military guy who intervened and prevented them being stabbed.

We all know how Lagosians would mind their business in such cases ; in fact policemen being paid to prevent breakdown of law and order watched while law and order broke to several pieces last week in Iyana Iba. Even when those guys fought in front of force headquarters in Obalende, the policemen just sit for their office dey Enjoy the show.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]That's the last bus stop for buses coming from Ajah and Berger. There is usually traffic there, and it is always busy

So, he was dragged from the pedestrian bridge at the other side, and brought here with nobody seeing him, only a military guy?

Hope you know when you take that bend to go to Cappa, there's an RRS unit there?
[/color]

I didn't say they took him to Cappa, I only used that place to explain where I thought the issue happened going by his description in Ur initial post I quoted.

He said he was on pedestrian bridge and was beckoned at to come and he ran. He didn't state what direction he ran, but he mentioned being dragged into a BRT terminal. You posited that there's no BRT terminal where area boys are operating from in that axis and all I did was try to point u to a part of the terminal I do see those urchins sit and smoke( based on my observation when I pass that route)

Even on the oshodi oke bridge sef, RRS usually park their patrol vans there yet those boys show people shege in traffic.

Four four four

Four mẹta is a metaphor

izzou:
[color=royalblue]If you are coming to Oshodi from Anthony, you'll pass in front of that Lastma HQ. That place has area boys and policemen littered there. The yard you are talking about is around there.

If you try to pass there to make a U turn, there is a police station with a Checkpoint there.

So area boys were dragging him in broad daylight, and nobody stopped them?

That part of taking him inside is what makes me doubt the story. Area boys have no business inside[/color]

No, that's not where I'm referring to. If u are coming from Anthony, after the lastma headquarters u will climb the bridge as if u are going towards mile 2, once u get to the end of the bridge u will turn to Ur right to descend the bridge ( There's a bad portion of the road after u descend the bridge as if u are going to Cappa), it's at the point of descending the bridge u will see where they park broken down BRT buses..... There's a park there where those guys sit and smoke hemp. I believe that's where the guy was describing

mostob:
If Gabriel had not challenge Richarlison, it's either he score with his left foot or pass to another Spurs player. Saliba was far away to stop such. Gabriel made a good decision to challenge Richarlison but unfortunately he conceded a penalty.
Not absolving him of the blame though.

This is a fair analysis of the penalty incident.

I'm sure all parties involved have learnt their lessons. Thank God we won sha

nihilistjnr:
I'm speaking specifically about flagboi and not a campaign rally.

Like one man and his camera guy rolling through IPOB hoods in Awka or Aba carrying Tinubu flag.

Fuckit, even in Imo state, I'm willing to bet its a foolhardy proposition.

Well,I agree it's not the wisest decision to take. It's just like tempting one's chi.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Inside the terminal? No sir.

I use that terminal to Ajah from Oshodi...And no, they are not inside.

There is no BRT bus terminal where Area boys are allowed to sit and drink paraga.

From TBS, Ojota, Oshodi, Agric and Ikorodu, there is none.

[/color]

Baba, u know where those Ambode blue barbed wire are immediately u are descending the bridge? There's one opc mini hut/ojúbo eshu by the side. Faulty BRT buses are parked there. I believe that's where the guy is referring to.

nihilistjnr:
I can draw inferences from what happened in Lagos, that the reason why something like that hasn't happened in say Anambra, is because nobody is stupid enough to try what flagboi did there.

Is it that much of a stretch to believe that a lone APC flag bearing nigga would be mobbed in IPOB/ESN territory where people are being forced to sit at home right now by an imposed protest against One Nigeria?

If soldiers who represent Nigeria are getting wasted every week by UGM in the east, it doesn't seem that farfetched to me to expect the flagboi treatment (or much worse) to be administered summarily and swiftly to any fool dumb enough to chase that kind of clout...

I guess we will have to wait till election period to see if Ur inference is right or wrong. INEC recently conducted an election in Anambra and APC was on the ballot. I believe whoever was their candidate must have campaigned and canvassed for vote there.

My point is if as recent as November 2021 an election was conducted with Apc on the ballot amd actually winning votes, then maybe things are not as bad as we are made to believe.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Not trying to take anything from Flagboi story oh.

But I really no believe this thing. Make una no vex[/color]



[color=royalblue]The only terminal with a pedestrian bridge at Oshodi is the one Ambode built.


So area boys took him inside, and poured fuel on him there?

[Are there even area boys inside the terminal?

Make una no vex oh. But this story never done[/color]

Yes there are area boys inside that terminal. If u are on that oshodi oke, u will see them smoking hemp and drinking paraga inside the terminal. The section where they park the broken down BRT buses is probably where the guy is referring to. It's that place where u want to descend the bridge as if u are going to turn under the bridge

donstan18:
You didn’t get my point.

Lagos is the most accommodating state in Nigeria. It happened there.

SE is the most tribalistic region in Nigeria, any reason to doubt it won’t happen there?

Well, I don't live in the east and I don't how accommodating easterners are( I live u and those who live in the east to decide that)

While its true that Lagos is accommodating, it's not all rosy and peaceful as u may want to assume. There are some areas u don't want to get caught up in Lagos at the wrong time. There are some "accommodating" people in Lagos that will not let out their properties to u, there are some accommodating places u cannot even profess Ur admiration openly for a perceived enemy of theirs, etc.

These things happen almost everywhere due to the mentality of people who populate such areas. I remember mentioning it here that some states in the north would not allow Christians build churches at the centre of the town. Funny enough one of the Bishops that recently spoke at Tinubu's meeting with Northern pentecostal bishops confirmed this as one of the grievances they tabled before him.

I believe the same way this condemnable act took place at Oshodi, other parts of the country will have pockets of such incidence where over zealous supporters would harm supporters of opposition party. But the way u generalise and just assume it can only be worse in the east reeks of agenda

donstan18:
Can you remember when I said that anyone in SE that dares roam around campaigning heavily for Tinubu will get mobbed?

Y’all laughed when I said that right?

Lagos is the most accommodating state in Nigeria and this stuff still happened there, now deep it and tell me if you still doubt my SE claims that Tinubu supporters will be mobbed.

This Ur story no clear. You said no igbo man can openly campaign for Tinubu in the east without getting mobbed. Now flagboi ( I don't know his tribe/ethnic group) campaigned for Obi In Lagos and was mobbed, then u are saying " I told u so"

As in, I don't get.

nihilistjnr:
Bruh.

The guy knows why he went to Oshodi. You know it. I know it.

Oshodi is the HQ of NURTW or whatever they're calling themselves these days. All the gangsters in that hood owe their way of life to APC patronage.

You now went inside the midst of certified goons, who often have to kill their own team mates to gain promotion in the gang, to be flashing the colours of another team...

What happened to him in Oshodi would happen to him in some form in fashion in London, NY, LA, or Toronto.

Gang members are not Democrats.

100! No be lie.

I no know where people dey get courage to take such risks sha; personally in all situations I do things that won't endanger my life. Even for money I won't take such risk
